Stronger Man

You told me today, I'm 
Egocentric
Instead of taking my side
You're against me all the time
That's what it's like to be with 
someone
Who likes to fight 

You came out of the Marines 
with something to prove
I lost my best friend years ago
I thought my new One was You

But maybe I was wrong
In thinking you were on my 
side
I can't tolerate how mean you 
get
Or your selfish pride
Every day we are together 
I die a little more inside
And my friend's memory fades 
in my heart
As I become someone else 
Than Who I wanted from the 
start 

All I desired was a new best 
friend
Someone to Love and accept 
me
To be with me Till the End
Someone to hold me
And comfort me at night 
Not someone who belittles me 
And makes me feel I'm never 
Right  

Maybe I can be chatty &  
dominant too
I know I've been sensitive since 
childhood
But before I met you, I liked 
Who I am
Maybe what I need
Is a stronger Man
